30 to 40 second delay when printing a PDF

I have a PC running XP Pro- after a recent trip to the repair shop for a failed hard drive I am now experiencing a 30 to 40 second delay when trying to print pdf's. When I have a pdf open I click on the printer icon and then wait 30 or more seconds for the print window to open to select how many copies etc... after it opens I select print and then another 10 to 15 second delay before printing.
I was advised to go to the advanced on the print page and select to print as Image. This has not helped.
I have reinstalled the latest Adobe Reader as well as reinstalled printer. Nothing has helped.
Word documents print perfectly.
Any help would be appreciated -wasting lots of time at work!
Thanks!
Ray

I have a similar issue and have up to date drivers. Printing from other programs (eg word/excel and all my other software!) is "instant". The delay within Adobe Reader is only for the first document of the day. This issue has persisted from v9 to v X that I am currently using. I have uninstalled and re-installed Reader with no chnage.C'mon Adobe ... there must be a fix for this! For info I am running a Win7Pro w/s on a SBS2003 network, one printer is attached to the w/s by USB, the other printer is a network resource.

Long Delay When Print Commands Sent To HP Wireless Officejet

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 connected via a wireless connection to my home LAN. I have a late 2009 iMac (ethernet connection) running the latest release of Snow Leopard. Both the HP printer device and scanner device show up as installed in the Print & Fax settings of preferences with full functionality and they both work. The printer is normally idle (in sleep mode) until one sends a command. Any print command sent from any Mac OS X application to the device takes about 40 seconds to wake up the device if it is idle. Print commands sent from Windows XP applications running via a bootcamp partition wake up the printer instantly. Print commands sent from any other Windows OS based computer connected wirelessly on the LAN also wake the HP instantly.
I would appreciate any ideas as to why there is this delay when printing from Snow Leopard.

I installed from the HP CD that came with the Officejet. It says MAC OS X v104, v10.5, Version 9.8.0 (I assume this is the HP version) and then updated to the 2/11 Apple HP Driver update. So I appear to have followed your advice.
Note that Print & Fax preferences shows 2 devices for the Officejet. One is the printer and the other device is the fax. The printer has both printer and scan tabs. The fax does work as I just tried it. When I open the printer utility for the printer from within preferences, two devices are listed: The printer (green) and I can access the settings. The Fax identifed in its name as being at teh same ip address, but is is in red and the settings can not be accessed.
I opened the embedded web server to look at all the settings. I'm using DHCP.
Here is what I found under Networking:
Host name is correct.
Proxy setting are blank, which is correct.
Network Protocols are set to Both IPv4 and IPv6
Under Wireless: IPv4 Addressing is set to Automatic IP & Automatic DNS Server. IPv6 is empty. The Advanced settings are all under Infrastructure and correct. Ad Hoc settings are blank. Compatibility has the 2nd item checked that says in an Ad Hoc network use 811.b behavior.
Anything else that may be helpful

IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
Thanks

Problem with page breaks in IE when printing to PDF

Hey,
I am having formatting issues with IE when printing to pdf, I have a dynamically created report which has page breaks at the end of each page, if I open this report(report is in html) in firefox and goto print the formatting is correct, if I open the same report in IE and print the report 80% of the pagebreaks are in tact, 20% are ignored which just makes the report look rubbish, my question is,( I know it not directly related to the reader but was unsure on which forum to post) is there a different css or formatting I should use to make IE play ball.
Cheers
Tom.
the style I use to insert pagebreak is
<code>
.breakhere {page-break-before: always;}
code I then use to implement it is.
<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=100% CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 CLASS="breakhere">
</code>

You may use a forum for IE.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?

Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

Missing images when printing to pdf from Word

When printing to pdf from MS Word 2003 in some cases textboxes and/or images disappear in the target PDF, depending on their position.
Word and Acrobat Standard are the latest updates. If the Word text is converted on a Mac the target pdf has the images present, so it looks like it's a Windows only problem. Any suggestions where to start looking for a fix?

You may have to turn on "display large images" in the preferences.

Text getting cut off when printing to PDF from Excel

Hello,
     I've seen a lot related to this subject but nothing that shows a real solution.
     Using Excel 2003-sp3 and Adobe Acrobat v.9 Standard, the right half of the last character in the string gets cut off. It prints from excel fine.
     It's not always the text that is the right-most on the page either. An affected PDF file is attached - note the cut off "S" on the last line (NET ASSETS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES).
     Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,

When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and markedly smaller print. How do I correct this?

When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and with markedly smaller print, the top of the page is fine. How do I correct this?

Open Contacts and click Preferences on the menu named Contacts. On the General tab of the Preferences window, select Show First Name: Before Last Name and then print. You can change that Preference back to the other way after printing if desired.

I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF.

I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF. When printing to PDF the PC will intermittently freeze and sometimes the print spooler will crash taking all other printers offline. A reboot clears it up for a while but then it comes back.
Acrobat 11 Pro
Windows 7 x64
Office 2010 Professional
Any help would be great! Thanks

I manage a network of 30,000 + workstations all with Acrobat Pro 10. Upon upgrading to 10.1.10, they all exhibited similar symptoms printing to the PDF printer. The problem is most obvious in IE 11, it will cause the browser to stop responding, however it seems to depend on the page being viewed. For example we can print google.com, but not yahoo.com.
And of course there is no method to roll back to 10.1.9, other than to completely remove and re-install Acrobat.
I hope this is getting addressed soon!

Bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar software - is it a 64 bit problem?

Had bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar Principia Pro software - is it a 64 bit compatability problem? All other software I have can print
to Acrobat pdf, but in Morningstar the Window 7 PC freezes and not even Task manager can
unfreeze the computer. Acrobat worked fine in my old XP 32 bit PC when printing from Morningstar. Recently a webinar using
an Adobe webinar software I was told I must only use a 32 bit browser, so I suspect Acrobat is incompaitble with my new 64 bit PC. Work around solution is to print to Microsoft XPS and then convert to Acrobat but I want to use Acrobat only! Is there a patch for people using 64 bit PCs?
Can someone at Adobe respond to me, please? I have used Acrobat for over 10 years and am very loyal.

Michael: I have tested other programs ability to print to Acrobat and also tested ability for other programs to
export to Excel or Word. The only crash is when printing an Acrobat pdf from Morningstar Principia Pro I get a bad crash. The work around is to print to XPS and then convert the XPS file to Acrobat pdf. To get out of the crash which can't be fixed by Windows Task Manager shut down, is to open the printer file and tell the printer to delete the pending print job.
I'm using latest Version 9.3.4 Standard Acrobat; Win 7 Pro 64 bit, 10 g of RAM, HPE 390t standalone PC, no networking.

Objects missing when exporting to PDF, but show up when printing to PDF

Hi - I'm working with someone, both of us in InDesign CS4, and she has some documents that cause a few random objects to just go missing when exported to PDF (same on my computer). But when printing to PDF, they show up fine. They also show up fine if we recreate each individual object, but that can end up being a lot of work. She prefers to export to PDF because of quality. I'm drawing a blank on this one!
The attached file shows the issue. The green blocks just don't want to show up when exporting.

Peter -
The links are just the PDFs of the black and white portions and don't really matter too much since they show up fine when exporting or printing to PDF. Our main concern is the green blocks, which are indeed the green areas of the plan you pointed out. They are actually separate objects created directly within InDesign that can be moved and adjusted.
I just updated to 6.0.4 and that didn't help. I wonder if this may be a variant of the bugs I was reading about with master pages and certain things not showing up when creating PDFs or printing (even though none of these things are on the master page)?
Thanks

PDFMaker changes page orientation when printing to pdf

Hi all! I am praying for an answer. My job requires me to convert huge word documents to pdf using the pdfmaker add-in with acrobat Professional 8.1.3. My problem is as follows and has occured in two seperate documents. I have Microsoft word 2007 and run on a VIsta OS.
   So my problem is when I create a pdf from word acrobat for some odd reason changes any page's orientation that contain excel spreadsheets that have been inserted (I believe through copy and paste and they are not linked to excel). Thus I get a page with a landscape spreadsheet with a profile orientation and it cuts off the information for my client. By the way, it does the complete opposite of whatever orientation I choose.
   Here are some things I have tried: I tried saving document as a 97-2003 word file and create pdf from that version, I have changed the PDFmaker advanced settings for auto-rotate pages and tried all three options to no avail. I really need some help fast! I will love anyone who solves this problem for me.
Thanks,
       Jason.

GREAT NEWS!!! I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
Okay so after a lot of frustration and mountain dew I have figured this out, but first the problem is simpler then I listed it. So here is the actual problem:
I had a document with multiple sections and one section was oriented landscape while the rest were profile. When printing to PDF the resulting pdf file had all sections in profile and ignored any change in orientation and cut off/cropped out elements of the pages I had in landscape orientation.
SOLUTION:
The solution to this problem is in two parts: 1) changing some print preview stuff in word, and 2) changing preferences in pdfmaker/acrobat ribbon.For this solution to actually work however you must have the landscaped sections sectioned off by inserting section breaks in word.
Step 1) Go to the section where you document orientation is changed from the rest of the document. Press the office button (in 2007) and drag down to print>print preview. You will notice that your section has now reverted to profile. (Ah Ha!) Change the page orientation to landscape.
            "But wait, now my margins or elements are getting cut off" you say. Go to Page setup. Make sure that near the bottom it says "Apply to: This section"
            Now make it landscape and this changes the margins to also be landscape.
Step 2) Click on your Acrobat tab and go to preferences. Under pdfmaker settings click advanced settings and as Bill and I have said change auto-rotate pages to individually.
AND YOU ARE DONE!!!!!

When printing to PDF Acrobat locks up at spooling

Running Windows XP and Office 2007 and Arcobat 8 (with most recent web updated)
When printing to PDF from any program (Word, Excel, Quickbooks, even Acrobat), the creating PDF window locks up and the print job gets stuck at the spooling status. No errors are displayed, I'm unable to cancel anything. Seemed to start happening after downloading the latest updates.
Have tried to repair installation 3 times, reinstalled program 2 times, with no sucess. Have run this version for over three months with no issues beforehand.
Help!!!!

AcroTray is running in background.
Thanks, will try that. Just have to work out Word settings so the conversion is seamless. Word tends to drop images and such when I do that.
In the interim, I've downloaded the CutePDF driver and all seems to be working. Ultimately the issue seems to lie with the PDF driver provided by Acrobat, but no matter how many times I reinstall the driver I still get the same problem.

Characters missing when printing a PDF

Hi all,
When printing a PDF file (word document converted and digitally signed with Adobe Pro XI) some characters are not printed, they are as blank spaces. The workaround is to print the file as image, with a significant decrease of printing quality. Is there any setting or option to change to avoid this?

If as in the past, this is an issue with an HP print driver. Printing as image is generally the solution, but a lot slower I think.

CTRL+P requires manual tab focus when printing a PDF within FF4. This worked fine in FF3. Why does it not work any more? Thanks!

CTRL+P requires manual tab focus when printing a PDF within FF4. This worked fine in FF3 - i.e, you could just select the tab. Why does it not work any more? Thanks!
